IBM CEO: All systems that counted - tabulated results. Programmable systems. Smart phones, current computers. Cognitive Computing. Learns, natural language, unstructured. Augment the decisions we make. The gray area where there is no right and wrong answer. Percent confidence, reasons. Application to law: Analyze evidence against complex legal structure. Here are 10 predictions: Watson is almost certainly the most significant technology ever to come to law, and it will give lawyers...

World of IBM’s Watson

IBM’s Bold Prediction About Artificial Intelligence
May 17, 2015
"In the future, every decision that mankind makes is going to be informed by a cognitive system like Watson," she said, "and our lives will be better for it." Listening in were the crowds of engineers, designers, doctors, bankers, researchers, and reporters that IBM had ferried over to a massive glass-and-steel structure on the banks of the East River in Brooklyn. The occasion was a new event, World of Watson, designed to showcase the "ecosystem" of innovation happening around Watson, IBM's...

A Clear View of the Brain
May 15, 2015
Increasingly, neuroscientists believe that the key to understanding how the brain works lies in its over-all neural circuitry, and the way that widely separated brain regions communicate through the long-range projection of nerve fibres. In this view, mental disorders result from the shorting-out or disruption of the larger circuit wiring of the brain—and it is in defining and describing those circuit connections that Deisseroth’s innovations promise to be especially helpful. Christof Koch,...

Unless You Are Spock, Irrelevant Things Matter in Economic Behavior
May 10, 2015
Early in my teaching career I managed to get most of the students in my class mad at me. A midterm exam caused the problem. I wanted the exam to sort out the stars, the average Joes and the duds, so it had to be hard and have a wide dispersion of scores. I succeeded in writing such an exam, but when the students got their results they were in an uproar. Their principal complaint was that the average score was only 72 points out of 100. What was odd about this reaction was that I had already...

Say Hi To Google Fi: A New Way To Say Hello
May 9, 2015
In today's mobile world, fast and reliable connectivity is almost second nature. But even in places like the U.S., where mobile connections are nearly ubiquitous, there are still times when you turn to your phone for that split-second answer and don't have fast enough speed. Or you can't get calls and texts because you left your phone in a taxi (or it got lost in a couch cushion for the day). As mobile devices continually improve how you connect to people and information, it's important that wireless...
